This highly ambitious but poignant short film needs additional financial support in order to create ECHO. We have just launched a fundraising campaign on IndieGoGo. Check it out with the link in the bio: #donation #crowdfundingplatforms #crowdfunder #indiegogo

When we first posted about Echo by Jo Southwell, we began to receive messages from women and men across the world who shared their own experiences of loss and grief. Some we had known and worked with for years, but we had never talked about personal issues such as miscarriage.

We are so lucky that our brilliant Echo cast and crew hail from far and wide and speak many languages. We are: English, Irish, Austrian, Iranian, Turkish, German, French, Cypriot, Moroccan and Indian. Help us fund ECHO click the link in the bio or go to: igg.me/at/echofilm2022

Why are we making Echo? It is a beautiful film about loss and grief, in this case, caused by miscarriage. Miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy in the first 23 weeks. Estimates calculate that each year there are 23 million miscarriages across the world. Help us fund ECHO

When it comes to talking about miscarriages men are often sidelined. It can be difficult for men to open up and share their feelings when trying to portray strength for their partners. Can we ever really know what is going on in someone else’s mind? Help us fund ECHO

Today our director, Jo is meeting with DOP Alex Bieraugel ( @tvrepublicuk )to plan the schedule for our shoot week. He is a highly skilled and experienced DOP who recently completed production on his first feature film, due out in late 2022. Help us fund ECHO:

We are delighted to announce that our director Jo Southwell has been selected as a Female Founder by Creative UK. Alongside 13 other female-led companies - We are very honoured to have the opportunity to grow and develop Aston Productions & Aston Management.

The loss of a child is utterly devastating. Please help us tell the story of women/couples experiencing this kind of grief; support Echo, a beautiful film directed by Jo Southwell and produced by Troy TV. Every penny will go on screen. Photo by @susanbradfieldphoto
